THICK chrome strut braces (rear)

Somone on here used to make big chrome rear strut braces. (i think)

im pretty sure i sold mine on here, although i cant remember if it was from here or ebay i bought it from.

It had like a 3" thick pipe, with C clamp sort of hooks around each edge, and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get one these days, or if anyone still makes them.

It was the best looking and strongest strut out there IMO.
(other than being welded in obviously)

i think x5pea has one of these, might be best PMing him

okey doke, ill give that a go see how that gets on.

its firestormer (Chris)

Dont think he gets on here much now he's not got a mk1 but Chudd lives within a few miles of him

yes! that name rings a bell from like 2 years ago wen i 1st got one i think.

ok both of them PMd now.

i hope to get a reply and see what they say.

Dubweiser used to do them (don't think there on here though)

is that a person rather than a shop? can only seem to find him/her on a club gti forum.

edit

ok found some info:

Dubweiser is no longer trading but the lad behind it is still on here as vtr firestormer!
His name's Chris and he could prob still sort you out with a rear strut brace as ive not long had one from him!!
Pm him for more details!!!"

according to the site

The guy behind dubweiser is called grant parker he has the audi s2 engined mk1 golf

ah that would explain why he has it plastered all over that car then

i love that thing.

It should have aet turbos plastered all over it now as thats who he works for

no one has any recent vids of it on youtube, or ive not seen it on the internet either, like a build.
and im too lazy and dont have a car that works to go see it person so i wouldnt know

firestormer has got back to me, and im sending off a cheque, so ill have one of these braces soon.

thats what i love about this site, usually anything gets solved within about 30 mins of you posting it on this forum

thanks everyone

do you mind asing how much it was

?65 bucks

I got mine from trimsport mate

http://www.trimsport.co.uk/engine.html

i have one of chris's in the back of mine.


also have a trimsport one like x5pea forsale aswell ?70

I know this is an age old post, but any chance this guy is still around to make a new one? Or anyone got one in the loft/shed that they dont use anymore??

For a tin top you might want one but the Cabriolets have a better strut brace as part of the rear beam..so it isn't needed on a Cabriolet.
